Dating back to the turn of the century, small decorative holders like this were highly fashionable table appointments used to present toothpicks to dining guests or to hold matches and hairpins on a lady's dressing table. This charming piece captures the intricate relief work and heavy gilding style popularized by the hand-painted export wares of the late Victorian and Edwardian eras.
